[69 Book Bar - www.] Shao Fengguan and I were both shocked. Shao Fengguan rushed to the bedside and shouted: "Afang! Afang!"
Zhuge Fang rushed into the room, Shao Feng said: "Quick, look at him!"
Zhuge Fang glanced at the unconscious Gu Xuan, took an earthen jar from the side, and said: "His wound has collapsed. Quickly, change the gauze for him!"
He took out a pair of small scissors from his waist and cut the gauze on Gu Xuan's body. As soon as he cut it, I smelled the smell of blood, which made me want to vomit. When I saw his wound, I couldn't help but take a breath.
The area between Gu Xuan's waist and abdomen was almost black. It couldn't be said to be a wound, but the entire skin was burned off. Such a serious injury could only be formed in a fire. At this time, I had no doubts.
Everything Gu Xuan said must be true.
Zhuge Fang used a small silver spoon to dig out a pile of black ointment from the earthen jar, spread it flatly on Gu Xuan's body, spread it out carefully, and wrapped it with new gauze. The wound was too big, and Zhuge Fang also wrapped it very well.
It’s difficult, it will probably take half a day. Shao Fengguan said to me: “General Chu, let’s go out first.”
He supported Gu Xuan, his hands were stained with blood. I nodded and followed him out. Gu Xuan's tragic situation was really hard to see, and his words made my mind even more confusing.
Shao Fengguan came to the backyard and picked up a bucket of well water to wash his hands. I stood behind him without saying a word. While he was washing his hands, he said, "General Chu, do you believe what he said?"
This is not true. I wanted to say this, but I knew it was a lie. I said: "It can't be a lie. But, how could Bi Wei do this?"
Shao Fengguan waved his hand and sneered: "Do you really think Bi Wei is so domineering? How could he dare to do this without instructions from above? Chu Xiuhong, after all, you are not Lord Wenhou's personal confidant.
He won't tell you anything, hum."
There was also a profound meaning in his words. Shao Fengguan was also a close confidant of Marquis Wen at the beginning, but he was still not as good as Bi Wei and Deng Canglan. Now my status is exactly the same as his. I did not refute his words, but said: "But Sir
Why do you do this? Soldiers sacrifice their lives to win, and it has no impact on military morale."
Shao Fengguan said: "You are still too honest. I am an adult. In his opinion, everyone is just a tool, only easy to use or not."
I couldn't refute, I just nodded and said: "But it's not like I want to silence you. Why would he do this?"
Shao Fengguan wiped his hands dry and said: "Because your Excellency did not tell them the truth. This plan requires dead soldiers to complete. What if these soldiers regret it and don't want to do it? He was prepared to sacrifice these ten people from the beginning."
"
I felt a chill behind me and murmured: "But since they are willing to lie in wait underground for more than a month, are they still afraid of death?"
Shao Fengguan adjusted his clothes again, came closer to me, and whispered: "General Chu, when his head is hot, he will put his life and death at risk, but those ten people have to hide underground for a month. This one
Can you guarantee that they will not have random thoughts during the month? If a few people refuse to obey orders and ignite gunpowder, then the power of the mine formation will not be able to be exerted, and the imperial capital will only have
The fate of falling. Mr. Wen Hou also said that he is making a desperate move and must not miss a single step. Since he has deceived these people, he will deceive them to the end and seal their mouths forever. Your Excellency
It’s your lord. In his opinion, the soldiers and generals, including you and me, including Deng Canglan and Bi Wei, and even the prince, are just his tools!"
I felt a chill in my heart and shouted softly: "Bold! What you said is treasonous!"
Shao Fengguan didn't expect that I would say that. He was stunned and sneered: "So you are also such an idiot. Okay, you can go and report it to your master. I have seen through it and I am not afraid of you."
Although he said "not afraid", his hand was already on the knife. It seemed that if we disagreed, he might really kill me. I felt confused and murmured: "I won't report it.
Gu Xuan is so pitiful, he saved us, but he still ended up like this."
Shao Fengguan was startled again, then let go of his hand and said softly: "Yes. There is nothing we can do. We can only let this real hero live, which can barely reduce his guilt."
His words were extremely painful and made my nose sore. I lowered my head and almost shed tears. Heroes will only be cheered after they succeed. People like Gu Xuan can be considered true heroes, but they will never be
There will be people who will remember him, and even trying to survive has become a luxury. I said, "Yes. What are we going to do?"
Shao Fengguan said: "I don't know if Bi Wei has noticed it. I'm afraid he is a little suspicious. Once he finds out, Gu Xuan's life will be over. I will go to Xiongguan City for training soon. There are only 800 people in the Feng Legion.
And I didn’t go much
I can't believe them for a long time. There are 5,000 people in your forward camp, most of whom have been with you for two years. I hope you can take him in when I leave. Fortunately, his face is completely destroyed, and if his injuries can be recovered,
From now on, no one will know if I remain anonymous."
The forward battalion has not come back yet. It is naturally safer to hide in the forward battalion of 5,000 people than to hide among the wind army. I nodded and said: "I have also had some rewards around me over the years, which can allow him to settle down and live."
.”
Shao Fengguan said: "This is the best. Although the expenses in the escort agency are high, the profits are also quite good. I can also give him some. If you come forward, Bi Wei will definitely not think of it."
I felt like my heart was being bitten by something. Shao Fengguan was still thinking about where to go to recuperate his injuries. Now the only way to go to the north is safer. Listening to Shao Fengguan's voice, I suddenly felt a sore nose and said, "Brother Shao,
The so-called real heroes probably don’t end well.”
Shao Fengguan seemed to be choked, and his words suddenly stopped. After a while, he said: "Probably."
We sighed at the same time.
The defeat in the battle of Dongping City also caused a setback in the imperial army's counterattack. In the next month, Deng Canglan and Bi Wei's offensive did not make a big improvement. Although the snake people had no ability to counterattack, their defense was as solid as a rock.
, the offensive and defensive sides formed a deadlock.
The weather is getting hotter and hotter, and now it is July, which is a very hot weather. At the beginning of July, the forward battalion came back to rest, and I was relieved to see that neither Cao Wendao nor Qian Wenyi was seriously injured. Although
I can rest assured about Qian Wenyi, but I still only told Cao Wendao about Gu Xuan. After Shao Fengguan left, I found someone in a secluded place.
He lived in a small house and found an old woman to take care of him. However, Gu Xuan's injuries were too serious and the scabs could not grow new skin, so he was very afraid of the heat. I originally wanted to find an opportunity to send him to the north again.
The village asked him to rest, but Marquis Wen often summoned me, and I was never able to spare time. Now that Cao Wendao is here, I finally have a reliable person.
Cao Wendao was deeply saddened when he heard about Gu Xuan. We were discussing where to send Gu Xuan when a soldier suddenly said outside the door: "General Chu, General Li, please see me."
